The xG Technology‘s xMax scheme is seductive. Long signal range and low power are a great combination.
Unstrung ran a piece re xG’s commercialisation plan and a VOIP phone.
“In the US, we plan to utilize a grassroots marketing campaign to roll xMax out on a viral basis,’†said Rick Mooers, xG Technology’s CEO and Board Chairman. “To envision this, consider how the Internet Service Provider industry was originally built. Companies and institutions put up ISP networks but so did very small companies and individuals.â€
They say the phone will be both xMax and WiFi capable as well as have an ethernet connector to direct network hookup. Sounds okay to me, I’ll give one a try. Now xG only need to convince Mike Bloomberg to roll out xMax in NYC.
